welcome

EUREF, the European Reference Organisation for Quality Assured Breast Screening and Diagnostic Services, is a pan European organisation, widely drawn from different Member States and is operated on a non-profit making basis. At the present time the administrative office is located in Nijmegen where facilities and administrative staff are available. The goal of EUREF is to promote high quality mamma-care in Europe.

Current European experience is that breast services vary considerably in the quality of organisation, delivery and professional support. EUREF believes it is neither appropriate nor desirable for women in Europe to be subject to such haphazard standards of care when breast cancer is so prevalent and causes such concern.

EUREF commits itself to the development and dissemination of the European Guidelines, Certification of breast services and mammography equipment, Training and will provide support and advice on such issues upon request.

In this workshop the physic-technical steering group will give an overview on breast tomosynthesis systems, provide insights of the why’s of measurements, will give practical tips for QC measurements and explain the software which is made available by the centres who participated in drafting the protocol.

We are pleased to announce that version 1.0 of this protocol has been made available via the website. We believe that this facilitates and will harmonize QC measurements on breast tomosynthesis systems.
